How an ESP with Relational Data Lets You Put All Your Customer Info to Use
As you know, the amount of ESP data gathered now is staggering and grows at a rate that speeds up daily. For marketers, this stored data can be a goldmine…if they can put that data to use. Sadly, many can’t because they don’t use an ESP with relational data. That means precious information about their customers which uniquely identifies countless marketing opportunities sits unused and their email marketing falls short as a result. Data has made possible actual personalization, but making it possible and making it real are two different things.

In business school, aspiring marketers are taught to focus on customer acquisition and customer retention, meaning loyalty.

Trust between organizations or people comes from a relationship and it builds over time, with every interaction and touchpoint. Your goal is to become that trusted partner. You want your business to be more than just another vendor. What makes someone a trusted partner? A trusted partner is someone you can bounce ideas off, [...]

We overlook, forget about or even ignore the Golden Rule that says do unto others as you want them to do unto you. Sometimes, we do this as email marketers, too, and we do unto others—our subscribers and customers—what we definitely do not want to be done unto us. Are you guilty of that occasional violation of the Golden Rule? Are you “that guy”—or gal? Are you sending annoying emails? [...]
